NextNav successfully tests PNT solution with 5G and LTE signals

NextNav has announced that it has successfully tested its positioning and timing solution that combines the company’s assured PNT (position, navigation and timing) TerraPoiNT system with existing LTE and 5G network signals. The test, which took place in and around San Jose, California, demonstrates how TerraPoiNT signals can be integrated with existing cellular signals to deliver accurate 3D positioning and timing information that is not reliant on conventional satellite-based GPS and GNSS signals.

Using dedicated terrestrial transmitters and LTE/5G signals, NextNav’s system delivers accurate and reliable 3D positioning and timing information and can augment or complement GPS  in places where GPS signals may not be available. This includes indoors, urban areas, or situations where GPS signals may experience interference. Integrating TerraPoiNT with LTE and 5G signals provides a rapid and cost-effective approach to scaling resilient PNT solutions in GPS-denied environments.
